I think it was called Jimmy Picnic. I went a couple years ago, weed and tatts yes, not so many funky hair color people. Why take time to color your hair when you could be shopping for an old car or scraping rust off an old car lol.

Yeah man, I had to walk away and come back too cause I was losing my cool and that just leads to more problems. I don't know if I could have done it without the ratcheting wrenches while the column and the seat still in place. I'm a big dude. What kinda car you working on? I've never...

You're replacing the brake light switch? I have a column shifter as well. Yeah it essentially took a lot of patience for me to get it done and a few bruises and scratches on my back. The ratcheting wrenches helped a ton. Like people mentioned in the previous comments, you may also want to...

@Longknife holy molé that is exactly what is happening with mine. shaking my head.

So I ended up using the piston from the new master and swapping that into the old master. I cleaned up the old master, didn't notice any pitting, I didn't remove the old piston that is deeper into the cylinder unfortunately, but even the old piston didn't seem into rough of a shape. I think...

Well then I'm starting to think that I have the wrong master.

@Cranky I'm up to shenanigans already by doing this work myself instead of throwing money at a professional so I guess I can buy a thread gauge. Are 9/16-20 and 9/16-18 close enough that it would almost fit? Was looking at this thing to better my brain...

Yes I still have it... hmm how do I measure the thread?

So a few months ago I bought a brake master cylinder at O'Reilly's I'm starting to wonder whether I bought the wrong one. Or maybe defective? Issue: Flare nut doesn't seem to lock correctly, I have reset it several times and it always leaks, it seems pretty well aligned. The flare nut closest...

As of yesterday I'm officially the worlds fattest contortionist and managed to install the master cylinder without removing the seat or moving the column. More problems today though. I'm having trouble around the flare nut, when I first tested the master it leaked a bunch when I pressed on the...

I live in San Francisco, wal-mart has been cancelled. I guess I could go steal some from the nearest brick and mortar without consequence, I'll probably order some China Direct (amazon)

Woah the burgundy interior is a panty dropper! Welcome to the forum!

@Bushhog don't give up just yet, sometimes parts show up in waves. One of my neighbors cracked one of my taillights a few months cause my 4 door belvedere has a donk on her. It took me 3 months to find the taillights. Now I see a bunch of them. Almost went ahead and bought a gtx one to see if...

Found this cool list of parts. I thought dr diff was the only one selling those dang grommets. Ram Man / Shop List / Master Cylinder Hardware ***update*** ignore this post, did some research in the forums. Do some research if you decide to do business there.

I had it out yesterday pretty much left only a few turns on the nut. I think I just threw my patience out the window yesterday and was ready to drive off these san Francisco hills thelma and louise style haha. I kinda see how I'll be able to get the nut through the pushrod again if I keep my...

Definitely, my toolbox grows every day. The ratcheting spanner definitely has helped a bunch. Going to look at some swivel u joint sockets. and going to give it another try before lowering the column.

OK cool, as always appreciate everyone's advice. @Kern Dog, @R413, @Billccm, @Ron H I'm definitely a big dude, also sorta in shape and sorta fat. I lift as much as I eat haha. Going to put my eyeballs on dropping the column. I've been doing kinda ok with the seat there, I just think my...

I'm replacing my master cylinder. So I almost have the nut loose that connects the pushrod to the brake pedal and it's a pain to get it loose. I purchased some cheapo ratcheting wrenches since there is almost no room down there. I couldn't fit a socket in there. I get the feeling that when it...
